Movie Title Thesaurus-mania!!!

[MinionZombie]

Okay, I thought of this earlier this afternoon, basically you take a movie title and then change the title using synonyms for the words in the title to make it sound either funny/unrecognisable/just plain weird.

I'll go first with:

The Unrelenting Horticulturist

(The Constant Gardener)

*additional info*

The aim isn't to add words or re-interpret based on content, it's just replacing the available words, in the exact same order, with their synonyms. Names, and words such as "the/at/and/on/a" (etc), aren't changed and remain the same. Other words however, you use synonyms for the words in the title (except the ones excluded like I listed above).

Not all movie titles work, so you have to pick one that fits the game.

Er, not quite getting it, the aim isn't to add words or re-interpret based on content, it's just replacing the available words, in the exact same order, with their synonyms.

hmmm ... not quite how the game works there, review the first post again.

I've seen some others haven't quite been getting it, the new title isn't based on the content of the movie, its purely synonym replacement.

Panic Room - Trepidation Vault
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - Jay and Laconic Bob Thrust Hindpart

The words remain in exactly the same order, all you're doing is taking each word (unless it's a name or "and/of/the" etc) and replacing that word with one of its synonyms.

Not all film titles work, so you've gotta search a bit for a good one.

Here's another one...

Phantom Rummager

Soul Searcher (www.soulsearchermovie.com)

[MikePizzoff]

Tiny Dwarf's Walloping Speculation
Pee Wee's Big Adventure

[deadpunk]

Immigrant Country

Alien Nation

((and MZ..the Royal Bitch post was just a joke...perhaps I should have clarified that with a smilie, but in my defense, it is kinda accurate. A princess is royalty, and a woman is only a bitch-in-training until she ACTUALLY becomes a wife...then she reaches full fledged BITCH ;))

[MinionZombie]

For those not in the know, check out Total Film (February 2007 issue, which is #124 ... with Mel Gibson on the front).

Go to the letters page and see "Gaming" - haha yeah, that's right, they printed my movie title synonym game!

I'll be getting a copy of "Severance" on DVD for my greatness. :) :chuffed smiley:

[capncnut]

Nice one. :thumbsup:
